An interactive fiction by troper Jewelled Dragon.

Described as "a hermetic*

alchemical

journey," it's a short surrealist game about two surrealist artists: the protagonist, Leonora Carrington, and her boyfriend, Max Ernst. Max's subversive art has led to his arrest by the Nazis, and Leonora, her sanity fraying, is interred in a horrific mental hospital in Spain.

It's Based on a True Story.
